ANSTO has contributed to the internationally-distributed handbook on plutonium published by the American Nuclear Society.

Developed by ANSTO’s predecessor the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (known as the AAEC) in the late 1960s, the Technetium-99m Generator revolutionised nuclear medicine imaging in Australia by enabling imaging procedures to be performed not only in major capital cities but throughout regional and rural Australia.

The High Performance Macromolecular Crystallography beamline will enable the study of very small (sub-5 micrometre) or weakly diffracting crystals, providing a state-of-the-art high-throughput facility for researchers. MX3 will be able to study the structures of large proteins and protein complexes for virology, drug design and industrial applications via goniometer mounted crystals, in-tray screening, or via serial crystallography methods.

ANSTO is part of a contingent showcasing Australian science at the Australian Pavilion at the World Expo Osaka in October.

The nuclear medicine community has welcomed the Australian Government’s decision to provide $30 million in funding to ANSTO for the design of a new nuclear medicine manufacturing facility.

The new trilateral security partnership between Australia, the UK and the US (AUKUS) is a historically significant development for nuclear science and technology in Australia. 

ANSTO is coordinating and facilitating a new cycle of Australian project proposals for the Regional Cooperative Agreement (RCA).
